The Good Stuff

Every day, our youth are working hard toward their goals. The community provides half of the Home's budget and resources - our mission would not be possible without you!

 

Here are some of the "wins" made possible last month:

  • One young man has started at York Technical College.

  • Our youth headed off to 6 different schools this year. Hello morning bus rides and car lines!

  • School can be a stressful place sometimes, and several youth living at the Home have social anxiety. They have done an amazing job using their coping strategies and resources at school to manage their stress and symptoms!

  • The community helps us send our kids to school looking their best! Most of them were able to get their hair cut, dyed, or braided for school, and all youth were able to pick out their back-to-school clothing!

  • Six youth are on the path to graduate this school year - the final stretch has begun!

  • Kay has started a new job at McDonalds. 

  • Jay and Rosie have been great assistants on campus with delivering snacks, putting away donations, breaking down boxes, etc.

  • Several youth with jobs are knocking it out of the park saving 40% of each paycheck. Combined, they have managed to save over $25,000!

  • Several youth were able to attend concerts this month, finishing up the concert series! Read more about that below!

Your support changes what's possible for these youth. Thank you!

*Details are changed to protect the confidentiality of the youth, but the stories are real accomplishments you make possible! To make the good stuff possible, consider giving today.

Training Body & Mind

Fitness and working out provides stress relievers for many, especially those who do not have the communication skills to express themselves in a healthy manner. Earlier this year, the Children’s Attention Home partnered with Planet Fitness to allow the youth and staff to enjoy the benefits of their services. For many months the youth have worked with various staff to train their bodies and discipline their minds to regulate their emotions in healthy ways.

Summer Concert Series

This summer the Home set its sights on ensuring that the children experience music in a way that may have seemed out of reach for them before. The youth went to several music festivals and concerts throughout the summer break.

Crossroads Program

Youth who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless stay in the shadows. Unlike the stereotype many hold for "homeless", these youth work to blend in, hiding their true needs from those around them for fear of judgment or to simply protect themselves.

 

Not only can you help by sharing that youth homelessness is a problem in our own community, you can help youth find help, home, and hope!
